Volume 1 Cangzhou Wooden House Chapter 10 This is Beauty
After the beginning of spring, although the weather is not as cold as when it is cold, it is still cold in the past year, that is, Queensland, which is like spring in the south of the country, has added two more clothes this year, and the people who gather their hands sigh how they have not seen the snow in the sky, even if it is smaller, it is good to take advantage of the artistic conception to write a poem of the Southern Tang Dynasty comparable to "Thousand Peaks and Snow in the North".
The murder in Nancheng lasted only half a day before it was completely flooded by snow, and the first peasant who found the body walked in the yamen without saying a word, and when someone asked, he only smiled dismally, and said bluntly, "I saw it wrong, it was a boar that froze to death." β
The carrier pigeon that flew out of the Taishou Mansion flew into the distance with a coo, I don't know how much faster than the footsteps of the two people and a donkey, plus the snow began to fall again, the excitement in the young man's heart was inevitably concerned by this group of silver makeup, one step at a time, walked for a whole day, and did not travel more than ten miles, but the mood was excellent, and it did not become heavy because of the fact that he almost walked on the ghost gate last night, and it was strange to say, Su Wen fell asleep deeply, and his pale face recovered, is it not that Qigui's blood is really so magicalγ
For this problem, the master and servant have not thought about it for more than ten years, only knowing that the young master is sick, and the little servant has to honestly roll up his sleeves and draw a knife, fortunately, the illness is not frequent, and it is only two or three times a year, otherwise it is really like this way of eating, Qigui is afraid that he will be more than twice as thin as at this moment.
"Young master, where are we going now?" Qigui led the reins of the donkey and walked one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow, this kind of aimless walking, but the scenery along the way was novel and beautiful, but the master said that if he didn't go to that school, he would cut off the source of silver in the future.
Now I have enough silver for 100 taels on my body, and I want to stop and go like the young master, when I arrived in Kyoto, I don't end up performing on the street, delaying the time to enter school, and in the end it is not myself who is questioned by the master.
Su Wen held a withered yellow grass root in his mouth, and his bright eyes looked around, one was snow, two were snow, and there were thousands of snow, but this snow and snow were completely different, the snow that fell on the ground was like a quilt, which made people have an urge to lie down sideways, and the snow that fell on the branches of the trees was shy to be released, just like the starry sky in the night sky, and the snow sprinkled on the mountain stream, piled up layer by layer, when it reached a certain height, it swarmed down, sprinkled with joy, not tired of seeing the beautiful scenery, unusual state of mind, and more of that it was not the free and easy that did not know the cost of firewood and riceγ
"If you want to go to Kyoto, you naturally have to go north! I will visit a few uncles on the way, they always come to see me with my senior brother during the New Year's holidays, and this year it is my turn to go to them to bother me. β
Qigui frowned, the freckles on his cheeks were much lighter because the skin was red from the cold, and he said helplessly: "But young master, we seem to be going the other way now." β
"Oh! is it?" Su Wen was surprised, hehe smiled, there was no embarrassment on his face to take the wrong road, but he shook his head, and said with his head in a way, "It's okay, I just want to see the scenery of the Li River, and it's not too late to turn back when I walk to the border line in the south!"
couldn't resist the stubborn temper of his young master, Qigui had no choice but to keep silent, counting the days, there was still more than half a year before the school entrance test, and if the pace was tighter, it would still be too late.
The master and servant watched the scenery very much, but they froze the little prince who tightened his clothes in the cold weather, and the height was unbearable, standing on the top of the mountain, although the field of vision was wide, but it was really blue two snots.
"This king just slept a little longer, and these two fools actually went in the wrong direction, and it took a while to get out of Cangzhou. β
......
After walking for a long time, the stomach couldn't stop screaming, and Su Wen, who didn't pick his mouth, took the steamed bun handed by Qigui, although it was colder, it was still no match for the urge to eat in his stomach.
Qigui broke his steamed bun and took out a jar of hot sauce from his baggage, hot sauce is a common condiment in the homes of the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although it is not as essential as oil and salt, at such a season, a mouthful of hot sauce is entered, and the cold air of the whole body is burned with the flame that is about to erupt from the throat.
Spicy is not a taste, but a kind of stimulation, as unbearable as pain, in some places in the Southern Tang Dynasty, even the wine is sweet, not to mention this kind of treasure that irritates the throat more than soju, the men of the Northern Wei Dynasty have the most spicy contest every year, the number of participants alone is as many as thousands of people, think about the hot scene, everyone's face is red, the body is not cold.
Su Wen is not an authentic Northern Wei person, he has never stepped out of the door for fifteen years, he does not understand the so-called customs and customs, and he rarely interacts with serious Northern Wei people, everything is based on a pair of eyes, and the little servant's pretty clever mouth from one book after another to understand the world.
And under the order of the senior brother, the food over the years is lighter than that of Baiyang Lake, which is thorough to the water and sky, and now there is no need to avoid the mouth, after tasting the sweetness and sourness of the rock sugar gourd a few times, and the fat and fat of the roast chicken and bacon, the spicy is still never felt.
Looking at the bright red hot sauce evenly spread on Qigui's steamed buns, as well as the faint and strange aroma in the air, Su Wen suddenly felt an appetite, and said as if ordering: "Qigui, I also want to eat hot sauce." β
"Forget it, young master, you can't get used to eating, I can't take care of you when you feel uncomfortable for a while. Qigui smacked his lips and was about to eat, only to feel that a piercing gaze almost pierced him, and he didn't need to look up to know that there was a pair of eyes like cowbells staring at him.
"Okay, you can only dip a little. β
Su Wen, who had taken the hot sauce, didn't care about those, the sturdy steamed buns were smeared all over the buns, and without waiting for the little servant to stop him, he took a bite and took a bite, and the hot sauce that was greasy in his mouth was connected to a circle, and it was not as sweet and salty as it tasted instantly, and he only felt that the aroma in his mouth was pleasant, but when the stimulation really came up, the tears had already rolled out involuntarily.
"Water, water. β
......
In the evening, Su Wen's mouth was a little blue, and he was finally relieved from the pain of the knife cut at noon, and a wisp of cooking smoke rose, and there was a house not far away, which seemed to mean that there was no need to sleep on the street tonight.
Bell, seven noble politely knocked on the door, to see if you can spend a night here, although the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty are not willing to be the beggar's wronged head, but for friends from afar are happy but have their own unique understanding, stingy and bold, many friends and not promiscuous, if you really meet a heart-to-heart guy, even if there is only one side, the same is through the hall, the wife does not avoid.
The door was opened by a young hunter, the smell of vegetables wafting from the house, had already set up the stove to prepare dinner, seeing the appearance of the visitor, without waiting for the other party to speak, he took the first step and asked, "Do you want to spend the night?"
Qigui nodded, he didn't expect the other party to be so direct, and the words that he had hesitated for a while before were swallowed back into his stomach at this moment.
"Come in!" Orion greeted him warmly, as if it was not the first time that someone had come to stay overnight.
Hearing that a guest was arriving, a young woman hurriedly wiped the oil on her hands and poked her head out, it should be Orion's woman, "Kuroko, who's coming?" β
"Two pedestrians, want to come and spend the night. β
"That's right, then you bring the pheasants you hunted this morning, and I'll cook a few more dishes. β
The simple and direct conversation, full of enthusiasm, in the face of two strange passers-by, is enough to see the hospitality of this young couple.
Tethering the donkey to the pillar, Su Wen and Qigui entered the house at the invitation of the other party, although it was a simple thatched house, it was not much more gorgeous than the wooden house in the mountain pass, the tables and chairs were placed for reason, and the spotless room made people's eyes look new, and sure enough, there was a woman in the family who was really better than a little servant who had to poke his fingers into more than a dozen bloody holes when he sewed clothes.
Qigui was born without being served, regardless of the black's obstruction into the kitchen for a while, Su Wen chatted with the other party Tiannan Haibei was very speculative, it was rare that the young master with servants would dress so simply like the other party, but there was no vulgarity of the vulgar people in the conversation, and there was no arrogance of the rich and noble, and he was a little closer to him.
In the small half, the dishes that are not rich but can be said to be mountain treasures in this countryside are on the table, and in the thatched huts that have never been so lively during the New Year's Festival, there is more taste of Chinese New Year's Eve at this moment.
The young woman boiled a pot of hot wine, Su Wen, who had never drunk wine, couldn't stand the other party's enthusiastic persuasion, and suffocated the whole bowl of wine in one gulp, and Qigui, whose mouth was slightly open, was dumbfounded.
Looking at the young master whose face changed suddenly, he knew in his heart that his throat had been numb, and he was afraid that he would not feel anything if he added two catties of hot sauce, and the sunspot on the side didn't expect the other party to be so heroic, and couldn't help but shout hello, although the other party was young, whether it was talking or drinking, he was very worthy of his heart, and he also drank it.
A bowl of appetizing, after which he couldn't stop the car, and then the wine, Su Wen happily vomited his sadness for fifteen years for the first time, although he spit out the truth after drinking, but the strange news of fifteen years of bedridden and once recovered, I was afraid that the doctor in the Tongren Pavilion in the capital would scold him, "The thief is going to speak wildly." β
But the country couple heard the sincerity of the words, and the young woman could not hold back her tears, and rejoiced that the other party could be reborn, and then heard that the other party was going to study at the Zongheng Academy, and Orion slapped the table and shouted that he was ambitious.
Drunk, Su Wen had not been so indulgent for a long time, the wine cup bottomed out, and the three men poured on the table with a smoky smell of wine, still muttering in their mouths, "Come, drink." β
The young woman smiled slightly, and cleaned up the dishes on the table, and a gust of evening wind blew open the door, and the cold air approached, and the flames in the brazier immediately dimmed a lot, and the woman hurriedly closed the door, and a little cold light loomed in the dark night not far away, getting closer and closer.
